I don't care if we win, lose or draw as long as the team gives 100% every week and each player wears the shirt with pride.: |
|
| IF *some* of the information within this thread is true then surely this needs to be reported to the correct authorities to look into in more detail.... ???

| In the past I've stated that I wouldn't shout him out of the club as I thought he had the best interests at heart for the club but within the last 24 hours my opinion has changed dramatically.
my fear is that any protests will effect the players ability to perform on the pitch

Can now understand why people in the past said that they wouldn't invest any money into Trinity while Ted was in charge. From what I have heard he has shafted many people before and not many people trust him.

Like many in this last property boom, a small time businessman gambling with other peoples assets and like many others he went 'all in' once too often.
The thing is we have now lost the one asset we had 'The Ground'. Even when it was owned by the council it was still in the hands of the people of Wakefield.
Why if he had is 'beloved club' at heart did he not raise finance from the BoI and develop part of BV the amount would easily have been matched with sporting grants?
Answer; Because he would not have benifited , better the deceit of a new company than his 'beloved club' benifiting.
He saw the oportunity to use land that was not his to use.It was Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Football Clubs.
Wakefield Trinity was his golden egg and he has used it to further himself personally. But come the recession the 'house of cards' that was been built has fallen down.
The look of disgust on Harold Poyntons face today after he had read the article said it all.
I feel for all the people who donate their time and all their energies for this great club only to have been lied to their faces.
Will certainly go down as a Black Day in our history.
Let's hope his God is more forgiving than the supporters I fear.

I doubt most of them will know whats going on, as long as the wage is in on pay day what does it matter to them?

That is simply neither true nor viable. The amount of funding required to redevelop BV would not be available, and even if it were, it would leave a mish mash of a development still saddled with poor access and parking.
Let us remember that our future in RL and certainly in SL very much hinges on NM. In fact if there are all these investors out there wanting a piece of us, then it is almost certainly as a result of the likelihood of the delivery of NM.

| This gets worse and worse by the day.... wheres Cue Card CE with his informative post on the Wakey site ? Still waiting to be put at ease before I start with Fanzine Issue No 3 and have a real go at the state of this. Having said that, legal action was on the card with Issue 2 so maybe its best I didnt, in fear Id be facing more again in the not too distant future.

| Having read the article the only man who could applaud Teds actions is Arthur Daley, and if he were a real person then I believe even his low moral scruples would stop short of these dealings.
In a business world it may not be dishonest but it is diabolical (nicest word I could think of without swearing).
How is anyone going to take on a club where un-tangling the "Ted web" will probably tie up an expensive top legal team?

Point Taken. Emotional rather than being rational.But at that moment we like Cas owned our own ground without a £2mill BoI loan against it.

| having sat quiet throughout all of these pages and this saga i have decided to have my say.
i am a shareholder and attend all of the shareholders meetings. however these are the only functions outside of match day that i attend after been accused (by association) by ted for stealing money from the club (for the record i have not and will not steal from this club - we have had too many players doing that.....)
a colleague of mine had resigned from helping the club as he did not want to be associated with ted. my colleague obviously saw what was coming before i did (it took me about 12 months to realise it).
since that day i have not believed a word that ted has said, but as he was the man in charge, the man in the know we (as fans) have had to listen to him, and believe whatever we want.
at the last begging meeting (also called the last shareholders meeting) i commented to the table i was sat on that there was "more to it" than was been said by ted. why would two potential investors who approached the club, suddenly back off??
i think we know the answer now.
at the end of ted, i will start to attend functions again, and i will join the supporters trust.#
this is the club i love, but not everyone sees it the way us fans do.
another thing that struck me from the last shareholders meeting was that IF we got 500 fans with £1000, then the board would resign, and the shareholders could elect who they wanted to run to the club (i wasn't buying into this, i was afraid someone might vote for me!!!)
looks like we are a few days away from the end, and hopefully a new beginning......
together we are stronger?

| I'm not going to add much to this discussion regarding the finances/ground and Ted Richardson other than i do hope all fans get behind the players and coaches throughout what will no doubt be a tough season. Whether they win, lose or draw let's at least remember there are numerous people still within the club who need our support more than ever!

Everyone questioned why the investors backed off at the last minute, many thought it was because the franchise application was all but doomed before the season started but now its obviously clear that there was other reasons behind it too.

I don't believe that our application is doomed - provided we get through this mess quickly and with new owners and new hope!

Sorry, but I dont share your enthusiam, I and many others are concentrating fully on playing in the Championship next season.
I believe theres more chance finding Frankie Sandford naked upstairs in my bed than us playing in SL next season. If you feel I am way off the mark, I'll be taking two viagra and having a wander to see if the life size cut out has come reality.
